Step 1: Make sure you have the correct information to hand

You will need your registration number and renewal number and your credit or debit card details (if you have not already set up a Direct Debit). You can find your registration and renewal number in your renewal notification letter. If you've misplaced your notification contact our customer services team on 0203 713 8000.

To renew by telephone, call 0845 872 5114, and follow the spoken instructions.

Step 2: Log into myGPhC.org and check that your details are up to date

Step 3: Make your declarations

You need to make two sets of declarations. The first is a declaration that you are fit to practise without restrictions, and the second is a declaration that you intend to practise as a pharmacist or pharmacy technician in Great Britain, and that the information provided in your application is complete, true and accurate. Click here to see the pharmacist renewal declarations, and here to see the pharmacy technician renewal declarations. Whether you are renewing online or via the automated telephone service, you will be asked to make both these declarations.

Step 4: Pay the fee

The annual renewal fee is as posted above. You can also make arrangements to pay annually or quarterly by direct debit. Further information about setting up a Direct Debit is available.

If you choose to pay by credit card there is a surcharge of 2% of your renewal fee.

You can download your receipt which is available from www.mygphc.org - receipts are not sent by post.

Renewal payment methods

When you make your renewal fee payment online using a credit or debit card

Credit cards attract a surcharge of 2% of your renewal fee.

On completing your declarations you will be automatically transferred to the Worldpay payment site where you will complete a 3-D Secure payment process.

Once payment is completed you will return to myGPhC and be able to download your receipt immediately. This receipt is also your notice of entry. Receipts will not be sent by post.

When you make your renewal fee payment by telephone

The telephone system is an automated process. You will confirm your selection by pressing the appropriate button. The call will last approximately 5 minutes.

Calls from a BT landline cost no more than a call to a 01 or 02 number. Calls from a mobile or another network may vary.

Payment of renewal fees by Direct Debit

If you wish to pay your renewal fees by Direct Debit, please complete the appropriate Direct Debit Mandate form below and send a scanned copy to registers@pharmacyregulation.org by the direct debit set up deadline date published in your renewal notice.
